Blaze Persistence EntityView inheritance mapping - json

Question

I'm currently using Quarkus combined with Blaze Persistence for my microservice. I have the following entity model:
#Entity
public class Content extends BaseEntity {
private boolean deleted;
private boolean published;
}
#Entity
public class WebContent extends Content {
private String webpage;
}
I've mapped the entities to the following EntityViews:
#EntityView(Content.class)
#EntityViewInheritance
#CreatableEntityView
#UpdatableEntityView
public interface ContentUpdateView {
#IdMapping
Long getId();
boolean isPublished();
void setPublished(boolean published);
}
#EntityView(WebContent.class)
#CreatableEntityView
#UpdatableEntityView
public interface WebContentUpdateView extends ContentUpdateView {
String getWebpage();
void setWebpage(String webpage);
}
I have the following method in my ContentsResource:
#POST
public ContentUpdateView save(ContentUpdateView content) {
return contentsService.save(content);
}
When I invoke the post operation I only get the base ContentUpdateView and not the WebContentUpdateView. Is there any configuration to do? (with Jackson I use #JsonTypeInfo and #JsonSubType annotation on the entities to accomplish this).
Thanks

Answer 1

I got it working using Jackson annotation. Here's the base class:
#EntityView(Content.class)
#EntityViewInheritance
#JsonTypeInfo(
use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME,
property = "type")
#JsonSubTypes({
#JsonSubTypes.Type(value = DescriptiveContentView.class, name = "descriptive"),
#JsonSubTypes.Type(value = MediaContentView.class, name = "media"),
#JsonSubTypes.Type(value = WebContentView.class, name = "web")
})
#JsonTypeName("content")
public abstract class ContentView {
#IdMapping
public abstract Long getId();
public abstract boolean isPublished();
}
And here's a subclass:
#EntityView(DescriptiveContent.class)
#JsonTypeName("descriptive")
public abstract class DescriptiveContentView extends ContentView {
public abstract Set<LocalizedParagraphView> getLocalizedParagraphs();
}
I'm using abstract classes for other purposes, but it also works with interfaces.
